Let's jump into this podcast!
Hello,

in the morning. In the morning!
Broadcasting live,
live, live, live, live!
In 4-hour recording studio.
Recording! Wake your ass up! Hello everybody and welcome to the starting episode of Cox and Credor in the morning.
I was a little relaxed on the other one.
I was like, hey everybody, welcome back to Cox's Crandall in the morning. Today I'll be joined by KBBR Radio here in the 55 block of 700 Studios,
performing a live jazz concert,
as well as discussing the various psychological aspects of the human mind and tackling some of the harder-to-hit topics
that we like to bring to you here live on Cox's Crandall in the morning.
Nice, that sounds great. I'd love to tune in personally i think that would be a much preferred
version of this show if i'm all honest i would but instead i would talk about
i don't even know i just wanted to do that you know it's more accurate that it's instead i'm
going to talk about that is more accurate to our show yes for
like five minutes we were just like yeah that's what people tune in for i think i think so too
yeah how are you doing i mean i'm doing good i'm at home today because they're doing office work
usually i try to do all these in
the office so it like sounds better just because the room is like better for recording in here i'm
in a room that is like giant walls and everything echoes and i'm afraid to shout because it's gonna
be like hello hello hello but um yeah i mean i have a setup at home just in case I need to do stuff. So, that's what I'm doing.
I've been, today, I, let me just tell you my saga.
I mean, you know this.
You know I've been on my, I'm trying to get rid of stuff kick, right?
Yep.
I feel like you've been doing that for years.
Yeah.
Everyone is aware of my shenaniganry.
So, I recently have been just like getting rid of
stuff that I just didn't need.
And then I realized upon moving into
this new apartment that
I'd given away too much
so I had no place
to put the things I wanted to keep.
I was like, alright, hold on.
I now have
too far. Yeah.
I have all this like empty space which is great. I love that I can just like walk I have all the, yeah, I have all this like empty space, which is great.
I love that.
I can just like walk around in my apartment and it's kind of like a void and it feels
great.
I don't know.
It's weird.
It's weird, but I enjoy it.
And, uh, I realized that I had no place left to put, um, my speakers and to play music
and to like have my, my record player at.
And so I was like, oh no, oh no, where do I put this?
And so I also had no place to put my books.
So I was like, well, where do I put my books now?
So I went and bought a shelving system
and I had to put that together today.
And I realized for everything I'm trying to get rid of,
I just bought another thing.
I was like, ah, cool cool so in order to store the few
things i want to keep i have to at least own some things and i was like i hate this i hate like it
made me almost want to be like maybe i don't need books which is which is once i'm there i think
i've gone too far but i was like maybe books are not the way for me so yeah, yeah, that's where I am mentally.
I looked at my, I'm actually looking at it right now.
My TV stand, underneath, there used to be all sorts of old games and things that I would be like,
yeah, one day I'll definitely go back and play that.
And there's no way.
I don't even own a Wii anymore.
I don't even have a Nintendo Wii.
Yet I have three Wii games.
And I was like, what am I doing?
have a nintendo wii yet i have three wii games and i was like what am i doing so of course i just you know giving away stuff to friends or like you know finding people that want it and uh now
there's nothing under there literally the only thing under my tv is a cable box and like a one
controller and the rest of it just empty shelving and i'm like well now it looks sad there's nothing
there which is even weirder but
I'm like well I don't want to put books down there because the books don't belong with the tv
that's that's true yeah that was my that was my all morning was me just trying to put a bookshelf
together and then I realized don't buy stuff online the bookshelf matches everything else
in my apartment which is amazing however I bought it online all the parts arrived and one of the shelves had like a crack in
it and so it's this like kind of dark wood bookshelf but also there's just like a white
streak across one of the shelves and i'm like cool so i've been dealing with that so now i'm like
can i buy rather than complain to the company which is what a normal person would do i'm like
it's too much of a hassle.
I don't want to sit on hold.
That's how they get you.
Like, I don't want to sit on hold.
Can I just go buy a little tiny thing of, like, dark wood paint
and just across it and call it a life?
I'll know it's there, but no one else will notice from far away.
And I'm like, it's fine.
I'll move on.
So I've been dealing with that in my head.
And, yeah, it's just, man, let me tell you.
Owning stuff sucks.
If I could like not own anything and just have, I don't know.
Well, then you're going to be like, man, I wish I had some things.
That's, you know, it's weird.
It's one of those things where it's like I keep thinking about the things I need
Like I need a comfortable bed
Like I'm one of those guys I gotta have a comfy bed
I gotta have at least two pillows
Not one, one pillow is for suckers
Two pillows, oh my god that's the king's life
Get two pillows
Give me at least one cover
I'm fine, I'll lay on any bed
It doesn't even have to have sheets on it, just give me a cover and I'll be fine
Like I can do it old school style
So you know I just need a bed And you It doesn't even have to have sheets on it. Just give me a cover and I'll be fine. Like I can do it old school style.
Right?
So, you know, I just need a bed.
And, you know, I need some place to decompress.
So like, I don't know, like a couch.
Like an old man sitting chair and I'd be fine.
Right. And then, like, obviously my computer set up for work.
I need that.
And then everything else, I don't know, a fridge.
And like stuff to cook stuff in.
And that's about it.
That's really truly what I need.
I don't necessarily need a TV if I have a monitor and I can just put speakers on and sit on my old man couch and watch it.
But a TV is nice, right?
But I'm like, I don't need a lot.
I don't need a lot.
That's why, look, all I'm saying is, ladies, hey, what's up?
It's me, Jesse.
I like how this ties back into just like ladies.
Ladies.
It always ties back to ladies.
Look, you don't get it.
That's my entire life is it always ties back to ladies.
Ladies, let me pitch you a thing.
Do you want to own a house and like all the stuff be yours?
It can happen if we start dating.
If we get married, think about it.
You can own everything.
And I'll just live there.
Bet that sounds nice.
It does to me.
You know what?
We get a divorce, you can take all of it.
It's fine.
I don't even care.
What a deal.
I don't even care.
You take the house.
It's fine.
I'm sure there'll be an apartment with one lawn chair and a TV that's just right for me.
Don't you worry.
It's like these are my little tchotchkes.
Whatever.
You can have all the tchotchke space you want.
All the stuff you love that is totally unimportant to me, you can have it.
You can have it and put it wherever you want.
I will not complain.
I simply don't care.
It's your space.
However, the tradeoff is, should we ever move, I will complain the entire time that I'm moving all your shit.
That could be a deal breaker.
That's a tradeoff.
I feel like that's how relationships are, right?
I think that's how they work.
Give and take.
I give you all the room in the world
and then i take my leave when you got to move that shit give and take
you'll give and take yeah but i'm at least i'm being honest with you you know right that's true
and honesty honesty is the best policy and it's the number one building block of communication.
Yeah.
Let's see.
I'm less complicated, but I took some days off this week, like I said I was going to.
How'd that work out for you?
I know you tweeted about it, I think.
I did.
I was like, I'm taking some days off.
So I did.
I took, I think it was three days three days yeah i think so and uh yeah instead of streaming i built rats pardon built rats what does that mean
i built rats warhammer rats oh so you did what you would have done on stream just not streaming it
yeah but sometimes well i don't usually build stuff on stream.
I usually paint on stream.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
I'm not a big, like, building on stream is just like, uh, you just, I don't know.
I like painting more on stream.
It's more fun.
It's a little more creative.
So, everyone's like, woo, painting.
It's a little, like, more Bob Ross-y, you know?
Sure.
like, woo, painting.
It's more Bob Ross-y.
But building, I can just put on a stream or a video or whatever I want, a show,
and then I just build and watch that.
It's kind of monotonous because your arm goes here,
rat thing goes here,
spear goes here.
Rat thing.
Rat thing.
It's a skaven.
Right. Skaven, skaven.
I want to know what you were describing as a rat thing.
Rat thing goes here. Many rat things.
Many rat things.
Yep, there he is.
There's the little skaven in you.
I think I got a lot of skaven
in me.
Dude, I was like reading, I'm not even a big lore person,
but I was like, I'll read some skaven lore person but i was like i'll read some scaven
lore scaven are crazy they like they're all they're pretty much like me they're all hyper paranoid
and they all are like anxious they think all everybody's out to get them but each rat thinks
everybody's out to get them and so they're like constantly like i'm gonna get assassinated i'm
gonna get killed somebody's gonna backstab me and so they're all just like and then they're all like eating their warp stone and shit and like mutating and
getting crazy powers and building shit what's the number one weird factoid about skaven that you
need to share with us the weirdest thing you can think of i don't know if it's too weird but if uh
if you if they said if the skaven actually actually joined together and unified and fought as one,
then they'd probably be the strongest army in all of Warhammer.
But they don't, because, you know, they're Skaven.
They don't trust each other.
Yeah, they don't trust each other at all.
But they have so much crazy shit that's just like I built this super cannon
and it's going to do crazy damage
if I overcharge it or it'll explode
and kill myself.
I love that about them.
It's very goblin-esque.
They're kind of like rat goblins.
But I think I like them a little more than goblins.
That's because Warhammer goblins
are like idiots.
They are kind of dumb Skaven are like scientific by nature
And goblins in Warhammer are like
We put it together and look it works
And you're like what?
Yeah they're just like
Oh I put it together
Skaven are more like yes yes
And then they like try to use it
And they're like more more And then they're like they try to use it. And they're like, more, more.
And then they're like Tim Allen.
And then it explodes.
Then they're like Tim Allen.
They go, oh, and blow up.
Yeah, there's more power.
And then they explode.
Or it works out crazy.
So I've been building a lot of rats.
That's great.
But that's been fun.
So that was relaxing.
It was nice.
Didn't really go on the internet as much.
Played some games. And playing that new monster hunter pokemon game that's pretty fun is it fun yeah i think it's fun thing is like i like monster hunter but i don't like playing
monster hunter because i'm bad at it and so being able to be real talk yeah it's like i like the art
i like the like everything about it except i'm just
bad at the game and so being able to play like monster hunter pokemon i'm like okay i can do
this i've played pokemon so it's a little more easy and i still get the art style everything so
you know i'm having fun i am interested in the game but the fact that they call the monsters
monsties is like real it's a real turnoff it's a real turn off for me like gotta get the monsties i hate that i hate it
can't believe that one word upsets me so much but like monstie
it's definitely a little anime sprinkled in there you don't say
a little bit of anime sprinkled in.
I don't know.
Oh, yeah.
Sam's already played like 50 hours in like two and a half days. I've seen him tweet more times about it than anything else all week long.
Except for today when he's like,
Sucker, sucker, sucker.
Oi, oi, oi.
Yep, I saw that too.
I was like, oh, cool.
He's still got the British football fan in him.
Actually, his brother is really good.
You know what?
I'm going to say something controversial.
Okay.
I don't think Sam really likes football.
I think he just does it to support his family.
I don't know.
I think he does.
He played it.
No, I think it's all a charade.
I think he's a giant nerd. He's the biggest nerd in his family. I don't know. I think he does. He played it. No, I think it's all a charade. I think he's a giant nerd.
He's the biggest nerd in the family
and has to keep up appearances.
I think, I'm going to say it.
I think Sam Thorne is a geek.
I already said it.
I said it.
Needed to be said.
I don't think you're wrong.
A dweeb, if you will.
A giant nerdlinger. I don't think you're wrong, buteb if you will a giant nerdlinger i don't think you're wrong but i
do think there's still a part of him that likes sports and sports stuff oh well that's the part
that like he's got to kill obviously that's the wolf he cannot feed in him there are two wolves
in you crendor one is a nerd and one is a football player, and you gotta not feed that football player.
Well, my thing is, I've got the nerd
part, but I'm a nerd about sports.
So it kind of carries
into it, where I'm just like,
you're not playing this guy. He's been playing
for three years, so he doesn't know. He's got a
2.8 ERA. He's got a
2.1 ERA over here. He hasn't been good since
2007.
It's weird to me that you, with sports,
play a numbers game,
but with anything else you do, you're like,
yo, it looks
cool.
It's weird. That's what I'm saying. It's because I'm
very nerdy about sports.
So I love deep diving into all of it.
Am I not a nerd then? Because I never
am like, well, there's a 0.6%
chance that this is better. I just like. I'm like, well, there's a 0.6% chance that this is better.
I just like, I'm like, that looks nice.
And it makes me smile.
And I like it.
You're just like a surface nerd.
I am.
I know that to be true.
There's a reason why my office is the nerdiest place on earth.
But my home is like a barren wasteland of nerdism.
There's nothing here.
My hope is that I can like segment that life for me
that's like again i get married and she's like i don't know has like 80
sailor moon figures and i'm like whatever i don't care they're yours do what you want with them
yeah i will judge i mean i will judge you will be like that's true it's a little too much. 80? How many Sailor Mars do you truly need?
In fact, I would say that, like, my, like, I'm not even a big lore person, right?
You know, occasionally I'll be like, oh, that's pretty neat lore, like, looking into Skaven.
But, like, I like sports lore is what I've realized.
I like sports lore.
I like sports lore.
I don't know. It's sports lore, dude like sports lore. I don't know.
It's sports lore,
dude. It's the stories of the past. Sports lore is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
Sports lore.
Sports lore. Yeah.
Alright, hold on.
I'm going to Google right now.
Sports lore. Is this
a thing? Oh my god.
It's gotta be a thing. Because lore... I mean, what's the definition a thing? Oh, my God. It's got to be a thing. Because lore...
I mean, what's the definition of lore?
Well, I mean, you're right that, of course, it has to be a thing.
But the fact that Pittsburgh sports lore comes up is like...
That says a lot about the way people see Pittsburgh sports.
You know, like, it's all fantastical sometimes.
Yeah.
Wow, you just typed in sports sports lore It's Pittsburgh sports lore
Pittsburgh sports lore
Texas sports lore
And those make sense
Texas makes sense because sports is like a big thing there
There's actually a
Oh my god
What major sports team has the best lore
The best lore
You know what
It's interesting when you talk about history, right?
Because, you know, you're just like, I get it.
But also, it's crazy.
Yeah.
I mean, there's like the Bulls.
Bulls had six championships.
That's pretty good lore.
My favorite thing.
And really, they made that documentary.
And that was essentially just a lore thing.
I mean, you're right.
You are right about that.
I would say the Bulls have actual lore.
One of my favorite things is people said,
what major sports team or sport has the best lore?
And all the comments are like curling.
Every comment is curling.
Oh, my God.
Some people are saying the Major League has a lot of good lore,
which is, I would agree, especially from like, you know,
the World War II era and before.
I think like, yeah, the radio, like, you know, there's a lot of, but oh my God, so many people are saying curling.
This may be a Canadian forum.
I'm not sure, but like, that's pretty amazing.
Like they pick curling over hockey?
I mean, I don't, i mean i i don't i mean i don't know i on the
a lot of british websites a lot of people are saying rugby which i think makes sense
interesting oh yeah i guess rugby would be a good a lot of people are saying tennis has some good
lore because it's like a 1v1 competitive kind of thing where it's like a man versus man on the
field but yeah the first thing that pops up is Pittsburgh sports lore.
Wow, that's fascinating.
The thing is, like, growing up, I loved sports.
And so I would just watch sports all the time.
So I just got to know all the sports.
And, like, the in-depth details of the sport.
There's, like, three tiers of sports fame.
There's, like, the person who's just watching it because they're like,
hey, I'm at a bar or, like, I'm at a party and whatever. It's on. So's just watching it because they're like hey i'm at a bar or like
i'm at a party and whatever it's just it's on so i'm watching it go team like go local team
then there's like the like casual like i like the bears and i like why aren't they doing this thing
i think they should do this thing and then there's like people like me who are just like
are they gonna play a three four-4 or a 4-3?
I mean, if you go 3-4, you don't have the depth at nose tackle.
So you can't do that.
But you got a 4-3.
You got two smaller interior linemen.
You're going to get a good pass rush,
but the run defense isn't going to be stopping.
You're going against a strong division who's also buffed up their teams
at this point, and they're a run-heavy offense.
So you know they're going to hit that.
And you don't have a good slot receiver, so you can't do lot of motion like that's me that's why i do a football podcast
you are you are very similar to the guys who are just like i know every tactical formation during
the civil war and i can tell you why a flanking maneuver on the left side with the mountain ridge
to the north is actually more you you know, like that kind of...
Or you just know the tactics and the strategy of...
Well, that's because people fill their heads
with useless-ass knowledge.
And I'm not sure why,
but I feel like it gives us purpose, right?
Like, I can sit here and regale you
with ridiculously dumb history facts
that are not necessary.
Like, no one needs to know necessary. I just not like,
no one needs to know them,
but I'm like,
I know them.
Yeah.
Oh,
I can do both video game and real life.
That that's what obsesses.
I'm like obsessed over the like world creation of anything.
Like the history of anything.
I'm obsessed over it.
Cause I'm like,
Oh,
well how did that come to be?
And why did that take place?
And who did this
And why do they do that and that kind of thing
And I think that attitude translates
To like okay well
If you were on the field and you need to make
A play why would you choose this versus why
Would you choose that and when
You know 10 years ago they did this play and it worked
But like ever since it hasn't like why is
That did the defenses change like that kind of
Thing I understand it
Yeah
Yeah, it's pretty much that it's like exactly to describe. I think part of it's just
Being interested in something and wanting to learn more about it
And that's really what it like boils down to your brain
Just wants to learn about stuff and like get involved and you know if you're interested in it
You're gonna pay more attention to it like growing up. That's why they're like
Why do you know Brett Favre stats more than you know your algebra?
It's like, I don't care about algebra.
That's why.
That's the truth right there.
So, you know.
It's interesting to see that that's not catered to in kids.
Boy, what was it?
In chids?
Is that what I was about to say?
Children slash kids is chids.
Boy, what was that?
And chids?
Is that what I was about to... Children slash kids is chids.
It's one of those things where when I taught,
it was always the hardest thing to focus on
was that you could see what different students were interested in
and what they perked up in and what caught their attention.
When I was in school, English and social studies, history,
is where I would do my best work.
And science and math, I sucked at.
And the idea is like, oh, well, you want to help them become better at science and math.
And I wonder if it isn't smarter to be like, let's focus on the English and history stuff and then incorporate the science and math into that.
And then incorporate the science and math into that.
So it's like, all right, well, you're into English or, you know, you're into writing papers or reading books. Like, let's find a book that is entertaining, but also like, oh, it throws in some scientific stuff in there.
Or like, you know, a history thing, but let's talk about times in history where math was used and did something good.
So you can like pull from what they love and instead teaching is a lot like well you suck at math so stay after
school and do only math which is like yeah the most mind-numbing thing in the world for you know
me especially and the worst part is is my my math studies were only hampered by the fact that at
home my parents were never like great at math my dad was
a history guy my mom was an english person and like so i'll never forget when i was younger
i had a math question and it was this huge like homework assignment and i was like mom dad i don't
know how to do this can you help me and my parents sat with me at the dinner table and we worked
through it all and i felt so happy went to, handed in the assignment, got it back, F.
I'll never forget that.
That's when I realized my parents don't even know what this shit.
No one knows what you're trying to teach us. The numbers are also...
That is one of those things where if you're into math and you're into science,
algebra and equations and all that stuff is very useful because you're probably going to take that into your career and move on.
The rest of society does not care about it.
Like we could have taken like, you know, like things that would actually benefit, like writing checks, how to write a check, how to like pay your taxes, why we have different things in tax.
I would have rather learned about
everything about taxes.
Yes, like just an actual class
about paying your taxes that wasn't like
go download a program
and then pay them money and they automatically
do it. Or like go see an
if they taught us that or
they taught us like there was a time
where home ec was a thing
and I know a lot of guys were like, oh, dude, home ec, that's for girls and losers.
I'm going to go take shop.
Shop was fine.
Like shop taught me a lot of stuff that was useful when it comes to pretty basic things.
But most of shop was like, and now build a bird feeder.
Like that's not helpful in my life at
all that isn't like maybe if in the future i go and like become a construction worker but even
that's on the job training you're not building a birdhouse you're building a house house and so
i i understand it it taught me a lot of things about you know how to use sauce properly and how
to find studs and do all the things that, you know, for house repair.
But I always felt that when I took home ec a year later, I think I did it for my senior
year.
Cause I was like, F it senior year is going to be cruise control.
I took home ec.
I learned to cook properly.
I learned to like write checks and balance budgets.
I learned how to like, if there was a tear in my shirt, how to sew it back up.
Like I learned all these other things that are just as equally valid in being an adult.
And the fact that that doesn't even exist anymore.
Like you can't like, there's sometimes shop, but usually that's for like, sadly they send
like, well, this kid's never going to amount to anything.
So send them to shop class yeah like that's messed up and you know there is no arts programs anymore at some
places and there's no music programs and there's no home ec programs i'm like schools i can't
imagine what going to school is like if you're doing like public school right now like it has
to be the most boring like all right go to your math class
and they're like today's class is we're learning about the numeral i and you're like what the hell
dude those i failed math twice
algebra specifically it was i'm just not a good math person.
Unless it's related to sports or something I'm interested in.
Then I can figure it out.
But I have to, like, work with it.
Be like, oh, okay, I see what's going on here, blah, blah.
But not like, X, Y, X, if Jimmy has a slope, he bought for $55.
I'm like, God, I would rather just do literally anything Else yeah and it's not like They try
To instill the basics
Which I think everyone should know so you just understand
It which is like well x and y
And you know you're finding for this
And you're finding for that and like this
Is how it works but you don't need to be like alright
Now we're going to do a thing where it's like
X equals the cotangent of sine
Four like that is too much I refuse to accept that like, all right, now we're going to do a thing where it's like X equals the cotangent of sine four.
Like that is too much.
I refuse to accept that anyone just going through a normal life needs that information.
If you are going to become a person who deals in programming or deals in high level math,
that is your inroad to that for sure.
But everyone else who's like, yeah, I just asked the IT guy to do it.
That's, you know, that's how it is.
The worst part.
Most people shut their brain off.
Worst part is that then you like do all this in like high school and you go to like college and they're just like, all right, let's relearn it.
And it's like, why did I even have to learn in high school?
Yeah.
If you're going to teach like math and magics, give us like a fun music class and teach us that kind of theory let's just uh it's like an art so i mean you know people shove art to the side when
really art is one of the things that like changes societies and cultures yeah like you know throughout
history not just now and it's about but it's like about a human expression and it's one of the few
ways besides music and besides like i guess acting and of the, like art is one of those ways
that you like put yourself on a canvas and you let people see who you are or you talk
about the human experience in a way that, you know, it's like poetry and, and it's very
difficult if you don't know where to start to find the place you fit into it.
And so a lot of people in school have a lot of, you know, especially young.
Oh my God.
Especially teenagers.
Holy crap.
Like where do they put their time and energy as they're slowly exploding inside?
They're like, I'm so thrilled with hormones.
I feel like there's no place anymore for young people to put that energy except into stuff that we force them to put their time into.
They're silencing our expression, man.
I mean, you say it like that, but I feel it, man.
They kind of are, yeah.
I feel it.
They kind of are.
I think it's a generation of people who are like, up you have to grow up and become an adult and uh it's it's one of those things where they're like uh
well we got to cut some budget what's first to go they're like oh we don't need this expression
stuff we need the knowledge stuff but it's like that's just as important for a lot of people at
least well i mean there's a region region boy o least. Well, I mean, there's a region.
Boy, oof.
Maybe I need to take English.
There's a reason why rich schools can afford all that stuff.
And why those kids are all, at the end of the day, they come out more enriched and better.
Because, you know, money and education go hand in hand.
Money and a lot of things go hand in hand.
You're right about that.
Now, this has, well, actually, I could tie it in a little bit.
I've been learning German because I learned German back in grade school. And so I've been learning German again.
And I swear, yeah, das, der, and die and d like all those and like having to use them
correctly i it's still like blowing my mind i get everything else i'm like good at everything else
but like those specific like this is where you use das you know whatever and then this is where
you use d that's like no use d the das and i'm like I don't get it Yeah it's the tenses
Like you know past present
When they're like past present participle
I'm like what the shit are you talking about
Yeah it's very confusing
And when people tell me
It's actually very easy compared to English
And I'm like don't tell me that
It's not helping
I will say it's It's not not too bad to learn granted i did learn
in like seventh eighth grade so i do have like a a background to like kind of build on where i'm
like i remember this thing also i brought that up because i wanted to show you the german emergency
alert system what you know how when we have like this is a thing of the emergency and it's like, yes, this is the German one.
And it sounds like it sounds like a techno beat.
What?
Yeah.
Hold on. I I gotta scroll forward
alright so this the way it plays
it goes
it sounds like it's about to drop a beat but it just like
keeps going
yeah and that's pretty great
I like that
there's a thing where they were going through all the different emergency alert systems.
Japan has the one we have.
There's like some crazy ones out there.
I can't.
I love this one.
It starts with like a little tune.
It's also very annoying at the same time because at least ours is like, it's just a tone.
This is like, and then a guy comes on and is like, German.
Sorry to all my Germans.
German.
There's a, I need to click there.
There's Mexico.
Mexico sounds like a Vuvuzela.
Oh, what the hell It does
It literally sounds like
You know when
You would take like a tube
Or a pipe or something
You'd swing it through the air
It's like wow wow wow
Oh wow
It might just be because the guy, there's a person talking over it,
and it sounds like it's in the background of where he's talking,
and maybe it's just the sound distortion,
but it literally just sounds like wow, wow, wow, wow.
Oh, my God.
I got to show you Italy.
Listen to Italy.
If Italy isn't like, get yourself inside.
It's crazy out here. No, listen to Italy if Italy isn't like get yourself inside it's a crazy out here no listen what the all right Italy's Italy sounds like you're at a rave yeah Italy for sure Italy's is
like well like I can't hear if you can or if can tell I'm moving my It's like
It's like all around you
And it sounds like it's about to drop a fat beat
I love it
Dude you know what
This one
This is Australia
Australia sounds
Like some crazy
Like it's actually getting crazy out there.
Okay.
Australia's literally sounds like an old, like 16-bit video games version of an alarm.
It does.
What?
The worst part is that this video is titled,
The Final Minutes Australian Nuclear Attack Warning. So this is what plays if a nuke is about to hit in Australia. part is that this video is titled the final minutes australian nuclear attack warning so
this is what plays if a nuke is about to hit in australia and i just want to say if this is the
last thing you hear before you're vaporized what a shitty way to go this is like the lamest alarm
early it sounds like a MIDI file. It's terrible.
What a terrible way to go.
Yeah, I was just browsing through a bunch of those.
Those are the ones that stood out.
This is the difference between us.
Never would I ever think to go look these things up.
I don't even know how you got here.
Never would I think, like, I want to know what an emergency alarm is don't even want like want to hear emergency alarms in the United States toaster woman saw a tiktok of some like kid dancing to
him and she's like oh my god listen to Germany's thing and I was like oh my god I gotta look them
all up now of course it was a tiktok of course it was that's amazing like she'll look at tiktok
I feel like once you get past 30 you're too old to use TikTok. There is, there's a lot of like TikTok.
Every time I've ever looked at it, I only have two feelings.
One is I hate how beautiful this person is.
And two, what the hell did this person just say?
That's how I feel on TikTok.
I'm like, what did they just say?
And oh my God, that's like, it's gross how beautiful this is.
But I hate it.
I hate it.
That's it.
That's the only feelings I have.
I've never made it past two or three like scrolls.
I'm like, well, this hurts in my soul.
And I'm like, time to move on.
I also just feel like too old for it.
Like when you watch it, it's like 15-year-olds doing TikToks. I'm just like, I don't feel like too old for it. Like when you, when I watch it, it's like 15 year olds doing pick talks.
I'm just like,
I don't,
I don't feel good watching this.
I just feel too old to be watching it.
Like it's creepy.
Yeah,
there does.
There,
there is like a point where you're just like,
Ooh,
this is like a little sexual and a little too young.
I don't feel comfortable with this.
I don't know.
It's, yeah, and that's on top of the fact
that I don't even know how to use it.
And I was that person who's like,
dude, I work on the internet, man.
I'm never going to not know how to use
the upcoming apps and all the cool stuff.
I have no idea how to use it.
Yeah, I made an account,
and I guess people discovered me,
so a few people are following me,
but like, I don't, there's nothing on it.
I don't do anything.
The only videos I like are ones that I'm like, I get it.
You know, most of it's someone roasting someone for being really dumb.
Like there's a very funny there.
I don't know, maybe like a month or so ago, there was an incredibly funny trending thing where like people would add to this guy's TikTok.
And I think it ended up out of TikTok.
Like that's how funny it became.
But like it was this guy and he was sitting there with his girlfriend.
He's like, on Star Wars Day, I wanted to introduce you all to my girlfriend.
And she's like, hi.
And he's like, that's right, honey.
Right.
And it's like really awkward and a little like like, that's right, honey. Right?
And it's like really awkward and a little like, it's very clearly just two nerds who are just socially awkward.
But like the way they address the camera, it seems like he's holding her hostage.
So, you know, one guy responded with like a gun to her head.
And then another guy responded with like the legs and then her legs. And now like four people are in and like another guy responded with these like all right just come out with your hands up
you don't want to do this and so it just kept getting worse and worse and worse and then there
was a guy on the news he's like holding his girlfriend hostage it was hilarious and um yeah
that's that's what i'm there for. That kind of stuff is amazing.
Whenever I see stuff, it's usually like cat videos.
That's because you're like a cat person.
That's true.
I like scroll way past that.
I'm like, nope.
I'm good.
It's just an updated Vine.
Remember Vine?
I mean, it is an updated Vine, and I do.
I like Vine more, though.
I like Vine more, too, I think.
It's just, I think it was simpler.
It was only like 10 seconds or less.
Some of these TikToks, they last forever.
I'm curious about, because I never was in the Vine community.
I just would watch. But I don't like in the Vine community. I just would watch.
But I don't remember, like there were trends that happened.
But I don't remember any Vines that were like specifically reaction Vines, if that makes sense.
Because I guess there wasn't enough time.
But like this girl, Bella something.
I don't know.
She's like a very famous.
She's like a TikToker who every time I see her, she's like making a face and it has like 80 million views.
I'm like, I don't understand this.
I don't get it.
But she like released a music video, right?
And so because I scrolled through and saw her music video And was like what is this
What is this music video
I clicked on it to be like
So did she actually make a song
Is she a musician
No she's just like a tiktoker
It's like when a youtuber makes a rap album for some reason
But then
Because she's so famous
All of these people are doing
Reaction videos to her video
Then they're doing conspiracy
Videos about how it's not really her singing
Then they're doing their own TikToks
Of them singing and dancing to her
Song then they're
Doing reactions of people singing
And then they're doing like sing-alongs and like
It's this whole ecosystem
Of people just leeching off of fame
And it's crazy i hate it so
much yeah i'm not a fan not a fan of that at all i'm more of a fan of four second vines like the
guys being dudes guy you ever see that one yes yes. Yes. There it is again.
Four seconds.
Just take a listen.
What's better than this?
Guys being dudes.
Yeah, that's like my favorite.
My favorite one is the one guy who's like,
It is Wednesday, my dudes.
That's what I like you know it's straight to the point like 10 seconds
or less boom
he's got a knife no
like those are classic
yeah it makes you be a little
more creative so you gotta fit everything
into those 10 seconds
you know maybe i'm just
doing the like old person they like back in my day we had vines not this tiktok i mean we definitely
are if you're young and you're listening to this you're definitely thinking like these old farts
no i get it luckily there's nobody that's young listening
yeah i mean like i get it i understand we've definitely hit that like Back in my day we had radio and it was just fine
Like I'm very well aware
Of where we're at
But also
But also
I mean
10 seconds was a perfect time for goofs
It was
Like you didn't have to sit through 2 and a half minutes of like
Set up for one joke
Like look I got stuff to do
I got time for
more than 10 seconds of your joke
yeah you know I've probably heard the
jokes before like all these people they're like
younger these are fresh jokes for them
I've heard these jokes for years
you dumb stupid kids
stupid kids
uh
uh speaking of which our audience on YouTube for the YouTube data,
for anyone that's figuring it out, 18 to 24, 24%, 25 to 34, 60%,
35 to 44, 13%, 45 to 54, 1.7%.
But the funny part, it literally doesn't even give us data for 13 to 17
because we don't have any.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
Screw them, kids.
That's what I'm saying.
They don't understand the pains of gallbladder removal yet
or toenail removal or back pain.
These guys just complain like that's what leg becomes.
Or a heartburn.
I used to be like you.

There's some cars. One's going by. Another's going by.

pretty fast.
Pretty fast.

He did crash though
He did crash though
55

Back to you
Alright
Let's go to weather Weather time weather time You probably should get out. There's no back to you. All right.
Let's go to weather.
Weather time, weather time.
Let's all go to weather time. We got a suggestion this week to go to Brest, France.
Brest, France?
Yeah.
Are we sure it's not like Brost, Brost, or like Br? Like, there isn't like, or is it just breast?
B-R-E-S-T.
Oh, all right.
It's not spelled how I thought it was spelled.
Yeah, breast.
I was thinking of boobies.
Well, I mean, it probably stems from that.
It's France.
Touche.
Over in breast France, we got 56 degrees Fahrenheit,
3% chance of rain through 2 a.m.
Right now, 56, 96% humidity.
Woo!
Pressure 29.88, 6-mile visibility, 7-mile-an-hour winds,
55 on the dew point, 0.10 on the UV index,
and a moon phase waxing crescent.
10-day weather. Actually actually do we have any listeners from
france there's always like england and like australia it has to be like one french dude
who's like it's the best show i i love their comical takes on my world of you
wasn't that one guy from the live show from france or is he from somewhere else i think
he was from france oh fr think he was from France. Oh.
France.
There you go.
He came from France.
He came from France.
There we go.
I guess that's one.
Yeah.
That's the one.
There we go.
The 10 day.
You got 53.
Tonight, Monday, you got 64 with showers.
Tuesday, 68 with some AM showers.
Wednesday, 68, partly cloudy.
Thursday, 71, partly cloudy.
Then the sun comes out for a few days. 73, 68. Partly cloudy. Thursday, 71. Partly cloudy. Then the sun comes out
for a few days. 73, 74, 74,
74. All sunny.
Then 72, mostly sunny. Then it starts
getting a little cloudy again. But look at that.
You got a nice
temperate weather coming up
in breast frames.
That's the weather. Hey, speaking of
live shows,
if you're like, I don't know, around in December and you're in Chicago, for example, just putting it out there.
There might be a live show happening in December in Chicago.
Could be, maybe, might be.
And if I dressed up like Santa, just put it out there, it might be the best show ever. It's possible. If I dressed up like Santa and put it out there,
it might be the best show ever.
It's possible.
It's possible. It's very possible.
It's possible. Maybe I'll wear a shirt
that says Santa's favorite ho ho ho.
You never know.
I mean, I do know you are going to wear that shirt.
What? Me?
I would never.
I would never do that. that's true you never do that
all right let's go to sports sports over at the sports desk olympics are closing in we are
two actually less than two weeks away from the are you sure this is gonna happen they literally
like we're like tokyo is in a state of emergency.
Still happening.
I think it's
one of those things where they're doing it and if you
don't want to participate, you can opt out, but
it's going.
Okay.
Also, the one I think
American runner got disqualified
because of weed or something. It's like
dude, just smoking weed.
Yeah.
Especially when you have someone like Michael Phelps
who is notorious for being a pothead.
Oh, yeah.
They're like, it's a performance enhancer.
I think it's the opposite.
Yeah, that's not true.
I did hear someone say,
and I don't know the truth of it,
because I, like you, am like, that's dumb. But I heard someone say that and I don't know the truth of it because I, like you, I'm like, that's dumb.
But I heard someone say that even though it isn't the reasoning that they were given for why she was removed from the team or not allowed to go.
Someone said that it's possible that people have known for a while that marijuana in your system can mask other drugs.
I don't know if that that's true but that's
some justification i was giving i cannot say that i know that we'll wait for dr john to come in on
this one but it's true i was like i mean i guess i kind of get that but that's not what they said
they didn't say it was because like well it could mask other performance enhancing drugs it was just
like weed is bad.
And I was like, I don't know.
There's several states that disagree with that statement.
Yeah.
I mean, it's no... I guess I don't...
You know, it's no different than, like,
the night before they went out and drank.
Right?
Yeah.
Like, it really is.
It's like the same equivalent.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's very interesting, but...
Yeah. We'll see. we'll see what that hopefully
you know what hopefully she'll make it for the weed olympics right that's true there's always
time for the weed olympics always time that's what is that 2024 bring it home we they're gonna
have breaking and in 2024 they have breaking literal break dancing if that's not the time for the Weed Olympics I don't know
what is without a doubt
um
speaking of soccer Italy beat
England in the Euro 2020
oof
so everybody is tweeting
and talking about that earlier Italy
has beaten England
so sad times for England
uh Sam was already like,
oh, he's just a guy, mate.
He's always just a guy.
I know that's not how he felt.
I know that's not how he felt.
That is some premium copium right there.
That is a man who was like,
all day, like,
what is it?
All day, he was hype as hell.
All day.
All day, he was hype as hell.
All day.
Isn't like the FIFA World Cup thing happening?
Oh, next year.
Yeah.
I think this is all run up to that, right?
I think it is, yeah.
I don't know how any of this works.
I don't know how any of it works, but I know that it's all connected in some weird way.
Yeah.
Somebody in the comments, tell us how this works.
It's a fan of football football because I don't understand.
I'm like, is this like pre-qualifiers or is this like they get home?
I don't know.
Wasn't like points or I don't know, man.
It's confusing.
Yeah.
Either way, that happened in hockey.
The Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup.
I still don't get it.
I still don't get how Florida is so good.
The place where hockey should go to die is somehow the best.
It's mind-blowing.
I don't understand it either.
But they've won, I think, two years in a row now.
And then the Phoenix Suns are up 2-0 on the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals.
They play again today.
Well, I guess if this is uploaded later, they played last night.
You can go check that if you want.
And then over in baseball, I think we're approaching the halfway point finally
because the All-Star game is going to be happening in the standings.
As of right now, Boston, a game and a half up in the east on Tampa Bay.
The White Sox in first in the central.
Houston first in the west.
Mets first in the East, Milwaukee up in the Central,
and San Francisco up in the West with the Dodgers two and a half back.
And that's sports.
Okay.
What is our weird fact?
I'm going to say weird fact because it's never like a normal fact.
What is our weird fact? I'm going to say weird fact. This is never like a normal fact. What is our weird fact of the day?
Saudi Arabia imports camels from Australia.
That is one of those things that's like, it was all a lie.
It was all a lie.
Even I was like, what the shit?
Saudi Arabia is known for the vast expanse of desert,
so it may seem unbelievable that they rely on Australia
to supply them with animals that dominate their landscape.
Australia originally had camels imported to be used for transporting heavy loads or for riding.
They were let loose when their work was done, causing an unwanted spike in their population.
Australians sold back the camels to the desert-based countries like
saudi arabia which use camels at a much higher volume interesting that's uh look at that that's
like world economics right there that is some world economics so they're just like get out of
your camels and the camels were like yo let's bang and then they bang so much that the camels boomed
in australia and now they're just like we got too many camels who wants them they're just selling them back yeah but i think it's
interesting that australia was like well we don't want these they basically threw them away
and then they were like wait other people want them go get me camels
yeah that is that's crazy and that's a crazy fact That's probably one of our crazy ones we've had.
Yeah, I like that.
That's actually a helpful fact.
It's interesting.
It isn't like, did you know that some cereal is made of crackers?
Like, it wasn't like insane.
Yeah.
No, that's true.
So there you go.
All right.
Big news story of the day.
All right, big news story of the day.
Big news story of the day is a return to a big story we've had over the years.
What is happening?
We return to the treasure hunter.
Wait a minute, what?
That's right. As of six days ago, we have another update.
Lawsuit.
Man who sparked treasure hunt retrieved own loot wait what
you're ready a french treasure hunter has sued the estate of a santa fe new mexico
antiques dealer who sparked a year-long search across the american west by hiding chests filled
with gold coins and other valuables bruno raffaz was seeking $10 million in a complaint filed last week in the district court in New Mexico.
He claims the late Forrest Fenn deprived him of the riches by moving the treasure chest
after he solved a riddle that would lead him to the loot.
The lawsuit comes a year after another man found the treasure in Wyoming.
It appeared suspicious to everyone, Raffaez said in a lawsuit. Our assumption
is that Forrest Fenn went to
retrieve the chest himself,
declared it found publicly, and then
kept the contents for himself.
What?
That's crazy.
In his autobiography,
The Thrill of the Chase, Fenn said he buried
the chest somewhere in the Rocky Mountains north of
St. Defay. His book concluded a poem that contained clues on where the chest was hidden. Didn't people die?
Six died.
Raffa's lawsuit is just the latest legal
claim to be spurred by the treasure hunt.
A number of people have sued, alleging Fenn
betrayed them or gave them misleading
clues. Shiloh Old,
Fenn's grandson, could not
be reached for comment. Raffa
said he used the clues to determine Fenn's treasure
was in the southwestern part of
Colorado. He informed Fenn he solved
the puzzle and was on his way to retrieve the chest.
However, his plans were derailed by the coronavirus pandemic
and Fenn was announced a short time later
that the treasure had been found.
Fenn died in September at age 90
without saying who found the chest or where.
Fenn's grandson confirmed in December
that Jonathan Jack Stueff,
a 32-year-old med student from Michigan, discovered it.
Fenn said before his death that the treasure was in Wyoming, Dude, this guy, I believe this.
I believe that a dude put a treasure in a place.
The problem is, is this guy called him, was like, I solved your riddle dummy and he was like oh have you
drove out there got his own treasure
back and was like you didn't solve it now
bitch
that's definitely what happened
that is definitely what happened
without a doubt
why would you call the man and be like I've solved it
why why would you do that
why wouldn't you go get it and then call him
yeah that makes no sense why why would you do that why wouldn't you go get it and then call him yeah that makes no that
makes no sense why he would call that like i've solved it like just go get it if you know where
it's at yeah that's dumb that's just that is stupid i'll he's you know what he's dumb for
doing that he should have just went got the treasure that's what i'm saying he like i think
because he knew the location but not exactly where it gave fenn just enough time to go out and get it
and be like yeah good luck trying to find it now and then he could easily say someone else found it
and then like i mean if if you and i were kind of like in on this together and i was like oh there's
a million dollar treasure out there and then i paid you 200,000 to say you found it
I end up with the legend
And the like cool thing that I did
And I didn't have to give away a million dollars
And I gave you 200,000
And you're 200,000 richer for doing nothing
But lying once
Yeah
That's a scam
This feels like a scam to me
This is our year's
worth of research and
investigations into this
story, and now it's just a scam.
That's usually
what most things are. Let's be real.
That's very true, yeah. When you dig a little
deeper, you're like, oh, that was a scam. Okay.
Cool. It's a life lesson, everybody.
It's probably a scam.
All right. Well, that's enough of this scam
